🤔 Why NeuralBridge?

Existing Android automation falls into two camps — and both share the same bottleneck:

Test frameworks (Appium, Maestro) — built for QA, not AI agents. Every action routes through ADB or UIAutomator IPC, costing 200-1000ms per operation.
MCP wrappers (mobile-mcp, droidrun) — AI-aware, but thin ADB wrappers underneath. 200-2000ms per action.

NeuralBridge takes a different approach: an on-device AccessibilityService that executes actions in-process, eliminating IPC overhead entirely.

	NeuralBridge	Appium	Maestro	mobile-mcp	droidrun	ADB Shell
⚡ Tap latency	~2ms	300-1000ms	750ms-2s	500-2000ms	200-1000ms	300-1000ms
⌨️ Text input	~1.4ms	500-3000ms	750ms-2s	500-2000ms	200-1000ms	500-2000ms
🌳 UI tree read	18-33ms	500-2000ms	750ms-2s	1-5s	200-500ms	1-5s
📸 Screenshot	~60ms	300-500ms	~1s	300-500ms	~250ms	300-500ms
🔌 MCP native	Yes	Add-on	Yes (stdio)	Yes	Via adapter	No
🛠️ MCP tools	43	30+ (add-on)	14+	~19	~11	—
🎯 Token optimization	Yes (73%)	No	No	No	No	No

[!TIP] 100x faster on average — NeuralBridge averages 6.4ms per action vs ~800ms for Appium and ~1.5s for mobile-mcp. See full benchmarks →

🏗️ How It Works

Your AI agent speaks MCP over HTTP directly to the companion app — no middleware, no ADB, no intermediate server.

[!NOTE] 1 hop, not 5. Appium routes through HTTP → Appium Server → ADB → UIAutomator2 → Device. NeuralBridge goes Agent → HTTP → Companion App. The AccessibilityService runs in-process — like the difference between a phone call and a note on your own desk. Deep dive →

🚀 Quickstart

Prerequisites: Android SDK (API 24+), Java JDK 17, Android device or emulator (7.0+)

1️⃣ Clone & Build

git clone https://github.com/dondetir/NeuralBridge_mcp.git
cd NeuralBridge_mcp/android
./gradlew assembleDebug

2️⃣ Install & Enable

# Install the companion app
adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

# Enable AccessibilityService
adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services \
  com.neuralbridge.companion/.service.NeuralBridgeAccessibilityService
adb shell settings put secure accessibility_enabled 1

[!IMPORTANT] Android 15+ requires an extra step: Settings → Apps → NeuralBridge → Enable "Allow restricted settings"

3️⃣ Connect Your AI Agent

The app shows its IP on the main screen. Add it to your agent's MCP config:

# Claude Code
claude mcp add neuralbridge http://<device-ip>:7474/mcp --transport http

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neuralbridge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://<device-ip>:7474/mcp"
    }
  }
}

4️⃣ Verify

Ask your AI agent: "Take a screenshot of the Android device" — if you see a screenshot, you're connected! 🎉
